OnePlus Nord CE 5G

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G is a less expensive version of last year’s OnePlus Nord with a focus on its core features. It’s still got a 90Hz OLED screen, but it ditches extras like an ultrawide selfie camera and a fourth rear camera.

The Nord CE a capable all-rounder, benefitting from a solid mid-range chipset, slim build, and excellent battery life – not to mention top-tier software. A plastic body and so-so camera are the major drawbacks, stopping it from ever truly standing out from the pack, but there’s still a lot to recommend about it.

El nuevo modelo económico de gama media de OnePlus llega con ciertos recortes en el área de la fotografía y en los componentes utilizados para sus acabados. Esto hace que puedas comprarlo más barato, pero en un mercado donde no hay margen y todos los pequeños detalles cuentan.
